Here’s the block pattern for the polka dot quilt block - if you’re not sure what this project is about, check out my previous post!

Fabric to make one block:

Neutral (solid or lightly patterned) for background:

3in x 3in (1)
2.5in x 7in (1)
5in x 7in (1)

Polka Dot Fabric:

3in x 2.5in (2)
7in x 2.5in (2)

DIRECTIONS:

Add a 3in x 2.5in polka dot strip to opposite sides of 3in x 3in background square. Press seams away from central square.
Add 7in x 2.5in polka dot strips to top and bottom of unit pieced in previous step. Press seams away from central square.
Add a 2.5in x 7in rectangle to one side and 5in x 7in to opposite side of pieced polka dot unit.

This is one block.

Two of these blocks can be sewn together, check out the next photo to get the correct orientation. – be sure to rotate one upside down so the polka dot squares are off-set!

Thanks for participating! I’ll be sure to update this website regularly with pictures of blocks and quilts that are coming in. Happy Sewing!
